BANISHED KING.
SON DISPLEASED. Pedigrees Of Samoan Chiefs. JEALOUSY SHOWN. (Special to P. A. by Radio.) (Received 12 noon.) APIA, October 3. Giving evidence before the Samoan Commission Moamanu Paafoi told the Commission that Malietoa, his father, was a king but witness was disentitled and banished.
Discussing pedigrees of chiefs and referring contemptuously to a speech made by another chief, the Witness said that such chiefs had complained against him but he was of higher rank than they were.
He was against the medical tax and against the Administration's proposed subdivision of land which might cause trouble among his family and result iii witness having to work for someone else.
The authority given to the Faipules by the Administrator made them overbearing, though they were only Government servants representing nobody.
